As a teacher, if a student ever physically assaulted me I would go straight to the police department and file charges against the student and their parent. Regardless of what measures the administration might take, this type of assault should be dealt with the same as it would be outside of the classroom in society. It is high time that children learn that their actions have serious repercussions and consequences.

I've actually begun training myself out of classroom teaching and into curriculum design because of a rise in incidents and happenings like this. It will get worse before it gets better. I don't want to leave education entirely, as I still believe that it is what I am meant to be doing with my life, and because I believe post Great Awakening we are going to need high quality teachers and scholars to help get humanity back on track.
